What does it mean to live in a world where our most essential systems are digital—and vulnerable?
This book takes readers beyond the technical aspects of cybersecurity to explore how the management of digital risk shapes politics, policy and everyday life. Drawing on case studies from corporate boardrooms to international affairs, it reveals the social and political logics driving the fast-growing cyber risk industry.
From insurance markets to resilience planning, the book unpacks how these practices order people, places and possibilities—and why understanding them is vital for navigating the promises and perils of our digital future.
‘This long-overdue look at cyber risk as socially constructed and not just technical opens new avenues for policy innovation and digital resilience.’ Debi Ashenden, University of New South Wales
‘If cyber risk is what politics - writ large - make of it, Tim Stevens is your guide to how that process unfolds, what the policy consequences are, and how to evaluate the ever moving, socially constructed target of cyber risk and its governmentality.’ Dennis Broeders, Leiden University
